Centre of Excellence for Prototyping
in Nanotechnology

About Us

Centre of Excellence for Prototyping in Nanotechnology is established in the year 2013 as the Materials Research Laboratory to pursue research and supports collaborative, interdisciplinary research and education in the field of Materials science and Technology. The centre is actively engaged in research on synthesis, characterization and the fundamental study of physical properties of surfaces and interfaces of thin films, nano structured thin films, Nano multilayer films/Nano composite thin films and multiferroics thin films for various applications.

The nanostructured thin films and nanoparticles find applications in thin film solar cells, hard coating, wear and corrosion resistant coatings, data storage, dielectrics, catalysis etc. Faculty members of this institution with their different field of expertise, share their interest and ideas to understand the fundamental mechanism, properties and applications of nanomaterials.

The main objective of the centre is to create a dynamic research environment and to encourage students, research scholars and faculty members to participate in new research areas with innovative ideas. The prime task is to engage in the basic research, which leads to technological applications. Inviting scientists/engineers from india and abroad having experience in nanoscience is an integral part of this centre.

The centre conducts workshops/seminars with their collaborative partners, act as mentors for students in the educational programs, and contribute their expertise to the development of innovative materials. The centre is supported by Bharath Institute of Higher Education and Research to focus the research on new and emerging areas of materials science and allowing the centre to react optimistically to the current scientific developments. This will lead to the growth of this centre as an international centre of excellence in the field of nanoscience and technology.

Vision

Promoting the excellence in the nanoscience and technology in both research and education for the advancement of science and technology and contributing to the society for health care and environment.

Mission

Educate and empower the students for the highest quality of research for the development of multifunctional thin films and nanostructured materials and facilitate the transfer of technology to address the societal needs.
